Hi ladies! Im 12wks 2d and on progesterone suppositories. With week 1 of progesterone it went from 7-13 and now they called me today after week 2 of progesterone and it only went from 13-17 and i wasnt told if it was ok to be slow rising or not.  I guess its supposed to be between 25-30. Im praying for a happy healthy baby but so scared! Have any of you had issues with this?

[Tanjat]

Yeah, change docs.  That's crazy esp with you're progesterone levels,  you'd think you'd get closer monitoring.  

[MamaBritt89]

Nope i live in northern ohio

[Tanjat]

Where do you live?   Are you outside the us?  

[MamaBritt89]

See i thought the same. They could put down some kind of reason. My next appointment is on the 24th of this month. I will be almost 14wks so im guessing they will do one?  Who knows.... im 12wks and the doctor has talked to me only 1 time. I have had no testing done not even my blood pressure checked! Im currently looking for a new doctor.

[Tanjat]

Exactly what I was thinking.

I had the nt test abd I loved having it done personally another ultrasound lol I love then and just a little blood work. Mostvins will cover bc it's preventive care. :-)

[Tanjat]

Oh and im annoyed with your md, not you.   I just realized it sounds kinda wrong how I said that :)

[Tanjat]

Oh what a load of cra*.  Im sure that insurance would pay for it if they put down that they had a reason to be concerned.   When is your next ultrasound supposed to be?  Are you doing the nt screaning?  You should be able to have that done right now.

[MamaBritt89]

Thank you for the prayer and support ladies!! And yes! There is deff no end to the worrying lol. I tried to get them to do an ultrasound and was told insurance would not pay for it because its not an emergency even though last ultrasound i had i was told by the nurse that she THOUGHT she heard a heartbeat and seen fetal movement :-/

[Tanjat]

Maybe ask them if you can get an ultrasound to ease your anxiety?   Im only on 100mg & am now starting to think that it's not enough.  Everywhere ive read it's usually 200mg.  Ahhh the joys of pregnancy,  the worry never ends :)

[mommy2Bof3LO]

Praying for you!! Haven't been in the situation but praying for a healthy pregnancy

[MamaBritt89]

I take 400mg everynight before bed....but its not going up quickly. I was researching and some women have to have injections done up until delivery. Starting to think i may have to.  I wish they would check me with weekly ultrasounds!  That would certainly help my worrying!

I was actually put on progesterone suppositories before getting pregnant to bring on my period, even though my levels were normal (22) I actually conceived after my  first 10 day dose. A complete surprise, and not intentonal!!!!! I have no clue what my my levels were after taking it the 10 days. But I know I was on 200mg.

[Tanjat]

I get progesterone suppositories also but they're not actually checking my levels.   Instead I get weekly ultrasounds.   I think the vaginal suppositories don't increase the blood levels much but they are directly absorbed by your uterus, which is where you need it.  Now, im not sure how it works for other forms of progesterone.
